Latest in Christmas Lighting
How would you like to light large evergreens or other trees with one or two fixtures that burn @ 10watts per? They can be added to your current landscape systems because they are 12volt. Just think no more cherry pickers or ladders or hundreds of strings of minis that you have to put up, take down and store. These fixtures literally put 10,000 points of light on your trees with each fixture. That is the same as 100 strings of 100 minis!!! The fixtures are rated for 10 seasons, come in several light colors, materials and finishes. If you are interested in learning more about these amazing fixtures call me or post your questions here.

Wow Gerry that is certainly impressive. Do you mean there are 2 fixtures creating the effects in that photo? I am not familiar w/ Christmas lighting so I am not versed on what is available to contractors. I would like to know more about this just out of curiosity. Thanks for sharing.

Steve,
There are actually three lights on this tree one green and two white. The light source is actually a laser, not fiber optics. The fixture is slightly larger than a standard mr16 spot. They are outdoor rated, and UL listed.

Bliss Lights
They are in fact Bliss Lights...They have an MSRP of less the $500/ea. How much would it cost in time and materials to replicate this effect? One or Two of these fixtures on the ground, attached to an existing 12v. system is all that is needed. Something to consider for the coming season.

Those look great. I run a Christmas lighting company, and have done so for 7 years. I have really high end clients, and I'm sure I can sell them on a few. Thanks!

I know a lot of Chevy Chases that will be very interested in this and the time and hassle that they can save. Thanks!
